For the purpose. of distributing the fuel in the air and at the same timo avoiding any direct aanirating effect of the cum-ents of air upon the supply of the fuel, the latter is conveyed upward through the valve 8 and delivered into' the enlarged chamber formed by the tubular portion il of tha valve` this chamber being closed at thetnp' 'lll 25 in'a base member 26 l :iti

This is iuuiomplinhed un followe: The needle is given u uniform taper from this bnse of the effective portion towurd the point und preferably throughoutite length, this hein f n form which con be priu'tieitlly produrei und reproduoeil with greet nenni-eey; 'lhe loper is Huch tluit, if eontinuod to n point, the portion extending below the port when the parts ure in their low-ent xoh'ition io longer, preferably uliout one-tifi i, thun the totul length ot' the opening movement.

The viscosity of the fuel1 will render the effective area of the fuel ort opening lees go then the actual urea und tlis choking effect will be greater during the tit-st port of the needle uu'wement no mi to tend to oom iensiile for the forni of'tlie needle. 'llie e letzt of viscosity however, will vary with the size of the needle and iort. lf, for illustrution. the diameter of t e needle buse und port ha too greet, the choking eeet of visuosty during the first pm't of thel opening move nient will be excessive und the mixture will 100 be loo weak.

Aeehown, this port rin is flared et ite under eide toreduce the e the ort to the minimum. l

|Smee'the total o ning movement of the air valve and need e is of considerable extent to ail'ord air ports of great length relative to their width, the taper of the needle is of a H'mallan le; but this ie favorable as by, reason therco the linee of lluidtlow through the port will notl be materially changed throughout the openiu .movemenh ae would be the case if the n ced e taper was of a relatively great angle.

Provision is made, in accordance with one feature of the invention, for accurately cen tering the 'needle with relation to the port so that the width of the annular port openin will be uniform. This is important in or er that the viscosityeifcct may rect and to prevent contact between the needle and the port such as might cause wear und change of form or size of the needle und port, or interfere with the free movenlentpf the needle and valve.

fn order that the needle may bo accurately centered with relation to the port, in the em hodiment shown, it is fixed in a holder 34 provided at its lower end with a head, and

aving a stem which passes through an o ening in the diaphra in or cover 80, w ich opening is sligitly ar er than the stem of the holder so that the utter is capable of a slight lateral movement in all directions with relation to the cover. The holder is frictionally held upon the cover between the he d o'f tli'e holder and a flexible washer 85 an nut B6 so that the holder will remain in what ever position it maybe moved into with relation to the cover. 'The needle is so positioned with relation to the holder that when the latter recta upon the u per end ofthe lube 8l or the ring in whic the port 82 is formed; the needle will iust till or close the port 82. 1f, then, the valve 8 be lowered untilthe bend of-the holder 84 comes into contact with the tube 81, the needle will po leition the holder with relation to the cover 30, so that the needle will be exactly concentric with the port 82.

In accordance with one feature of the invention meansmre rovided for udjuating the needle with rela -ion to the ort so that the latter may be given an initie openin when the air valve is closed. This initi opening or lead 01" the needle with re la tion to the air valve gives a mixttu'e which active length of is richer in fueLbut since the'proportion of the extra opening d ue to this-lead of the needle relative to the total o ening is much greater at the be innin of he'o enin movement and rapt y dim nlshes un lit negligible, the de rec of richness is substantial only near t e early part of the opening move ment. Bv verging the lead of the needle, the initial mix ure may be made as rich ne valve 8 and the will necessary totrget the best resulte without substantially e ecting the quality of the mixture for intermediate or heav loads. The riehentn eilect of the neede lead at or near the e inning of the opening movement ia modified y 'the viscosity eect of the fuel, thereby affording a greater latitude in the range of the lea adjustment.

For the purpose of adjusting tho needle in the embodiment chown with relation to the. pori 32 80 as to provide the desired initial opening between the needle and the port, n ring 37 is screwed into the lower end of the tubular member the upper edge of this ring'being adapted to form a seat for the valve 8. By screwing this rin 87 more orJlees into the member U, the va ve B muy he lifted, and with it the needle 33 may be lifted to give the desired initial opening of the fuel port. The ring 37 is retained in ite adjusted position by a detent which, es shown, lle in the form of n spring ressed pin 38, which is suitably guided in tie buse portion 2G, being normally pressed by a spring 40`n'gainst the ring 37 so ne to engage suitable recesscsli) formed therein.

Aecordin to one Vfatture oft-his invention, the fuel is tliorou hly distributed iu the air without a direct iisplrutingz effect of `the nir currents upon the uel such as would affect the supply thereof. Tofthieend the fuel ie delivered, in the-embodiment ehowmthrouvfh the port 32 into the chamber forme-tl by t ie valve 8, with its tubular portion 0 und cover BD and from this chamber the fuel is passed in minute streams through a series of ports 41 formed et the base of theitubular portion `9. These ports 41 correspond in number to .and deliver the Vfuel streams into the nir ports-7 eo Fthat each ofthe multi licity of air currents formed by the orte receives its proper` prgsqrtion of fue flhe ortefll are mainte n in elinement with e ports 7 by l. in 42 which, for convenience, is inserted in one o! the ,porte41 and prolecte into one of the porte?.
